Dealing with Customers & Competitors
The opening night was a great success. John Smith was there and you had a very large turnout. Three weeks later, however, you have received a letter from the ACCC asking you to address some matters relating to deceptive and misleading conduct that have been brought to their attention.
1. You have run a number of full page advertisements stating "Come and have a drink with John Smith." John Smith has not been there but you have large life size cardboard cut-outs of him in the bar.
2. Your signature dish is "John's Balls" which are meatballs done in a spicy sauce. The restaurant two doors away has a special signature dish called "John's Special Meatballs" and the owners of the restaurant have accused you of engaging in misleading and deceptive conduct.
Address the issue raised by ACCC - Have you engaged in deceptive and misleading conduct?
